ChuckSiata
By the 480 BCE treaty with Carthage, Xerxes sought to have the strong Carthaginian navy tie up any augmentation of the easter Greek fleets from Sicily during his invasion of mainland Greece in that year. Carthage sought to extend its control over the Greeks in Sicily at the same time, but lost much of its fleet in a storm.
